Newcastle Tiktoker goes viral pointing out mistake loads of Geordies won't even know they make

You all know Fenwicks, right? Wrong. You might have, without realising it, been saying it wrong all this time.

Fenwick is a much-loved Geordie treasure. Newcastle’s own department store, with everything you’d ever want and more.

Whether it be from the amazing Christmas windows they’ve offered up for decades, a sweep through the bright lights of the cosmetics, a bite to eat in the food hall, some furniture upstairs all the way up to the magical third floor. Fenwick has been a part of all of our lives, I’m sure, at some point.
